It auto-mounts for me under Tiger. I'm not sure how you got it to not do
that. There may be a preference in 10.5's WM to hide that mount
specifically, but I'm not positive. Even if there is, it will still cause
problems for laptop users who disconnect from the network after logging in
(the hangs associated with the share timeout). What I did for my 10.4/10.5
users was to create an applescript application that runs as a login item
(not a login hook) and unmounts the share volume, not displaying any errors
it encounters (in case they weren't able to connect to the volume in the
first place).
Hope that helps. If you want, I can email you the code for the AppleScript
for you to modify for your environment.
